Calculations > Normal Open Point optimization

No settings are required to perform this calculation.

The calculation is performed for the four predefined load situations: night, morning, afternoon and evening. Because these four take the same length of time, the average loss can be calculated afterwards by averaging over the loss over these four moments.

The calculation starts with calculating the grid loss of the initial situation. Subsequently, all grid openings are examined successively. For each of them it is individually checked, whether an alternative grid opening leads to a lower loss. The current normal open point is closed and the adjacent cables are terminated in both directions, each time a switch is opened the losses are calculated. This process stops at a node with four or more branches on it or after six cables sections have been evaluated.
